TGIF

In case anybody wonders, I am obviously a day late and a dollar short here. It is now Tuesday and I am finally ready to process Friday. I feel like one of those people who injures themselves on a treadmill or a stationary bike. I’m going as fast as I can, getting nowhere, and I still can’t keep up. Story of my life.

TGIF also stands for “This Grandma is Fabulous,” something my grandkids gave me. Aren’t they the best grandkids ever? They also call me a Glam-ma, as in a totally glamorous Grandma. Triple word score win there! Am I blessed or what?

So why am I still processing Friday, the residue of my weekend still leaving me a bit bedazzled and confused? The honor and kindness of men, mostly. My car gave up the ghost, so I’ve had to string along a series of rides and bus trips, all things that make my job darn near impossible. Lots and lots of overwhelming challenges, but each step of the way there have been some guys popping up at just the right time to say, we’ll handle it. We’ll make it work.

My hubby is awesome of course, he has invested decades in saying “it’s okay, we’ll make it work.” We’ll just do the impossible here, no problem. He’s much braver about things like that than I am. Well, usually. Sometimes he needs a kick start, a bit of encouragement, but for the most part he really can do the impossible.

So now I have a new car, new to me anyway, and no new debt, not the financial kind anyway. I am indebted to the honor and kindness of men however, to all of those who came together and answered my call.

I am also grateful for the opportunity to just praise the Lord for the way He handles my life. So many things often fall apart and I haven’t got the eyes to see a way out. I am learning how to trust Him however, how to just praise the Lord for how He will handle things, even when I can’t see it, even when I don’t understand how it will all play out.

Hubby has actually taught me that just by being himself. If I can trust a human man to solve impossible problems, than surely I can trust God Himself to always be there to conduct the orchaestra.

Luke 12
27 “Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

32 “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
